Submission + - Secretarial mistake costs $1.26 billion to Pepsi (associatedcontent.com)

9gezegen writes: Pepsi learned that if it needs to continue "Refresh Everything"TM, it needs an extra $1.26 billion. It looks like one of the secretaries forget to inform company lawyers about a a trade secrets case in a Wisconsin state court. When nobody arrived to court, the judge gave $1.26 billion default judgement According to Pepsi lawyers, they were not properly served because the secretary was "so busy preparing for a board meeting." One may think she was working on the refreshments. Perhaps Pepsi should learn more about Spamhaus case.

Submission + - US Army scams the servicemembers

9gezegen writes: Well, sort of. An offer for free tickets to theme parks for servicemembers turned out to be an e-mail scam, which turned out to be a security exercise run by the Army. The servicemen and DoD civilians received an e-mail, allegedly coming from the "army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command Office," and directed them to a phishing site which asked for personal information. After rebuttal and warning by Army MWR, the website revealed that it was a security exercise after all. Army MWR later verified the exercise and announced they were not informed before.
